Not Pleased!

A lady called at millinery store, Sc
lected bonnet and gave directions
for the trimming and went home. In
the evening she called with friend to
get the purchase. The milliner pre-
sented the bonnet, the lady tried it on,
and reviewed herself from different
positions with an air of dissatisfaction
When the milliner ventures to ask
show you like it," All, said she with a
toss of the head, | "think it is just hor-
rible, that combination Of green and
gold is just too awfully horrid." The
milliner ventures once more to say
"thats the way you ordered it," mum,
ayes, that's the way / ordered it, ! sup.
pose," was said with scornful curl of
the lip, "but presume its the best |
can do at this late hour, as | am COM
PEELED to have it right away, what's
the price," and somewhat discouraged
the milliner replied hesitatingly "two
dollars and fifty cents" The money
was prid and the two ladies went home
together, the bonnet was again tried
on, and the mirror consulted and with
an air OF satisfaction, the lady exclaim-
ed, ooh, isn't it lovely, perfect little
gem, oh, Mamie, "don't you think its
just awfully lovely" and her compan-
ion replied, eyes l do, think it is a
beauty" but, oh, Mary, what made
you talk the way you did to the mil
liner ? ooh, l was just doing that to
get the price down, if | had not done
that and said what | did like as not
she would have charged me four and

Killing a Cali.

As James M. Cook, of Oak Greek, was walking over his ranch few days ago he came upon one of his COWS that had owned a calf but it was missing and the mother COW believing for her lost offspring. On institutIng search the remains Of the calf, butch. cred, were found hanging to the llmb of tree and the skin lying on the ground near by. MT. Cook assisted by another man secreted themselves and watched the place for several hours thinking the parties who had killed the animal would probably come to take away the meat. Getting tired of watching they went to MT. Cooks house and on returning later found the meat gone and trailed it tc a camp occupied by two men named ". NJ. Workmen and Claude Myer, where the meat was found. Warrants were issued and the two men brought up for examiEstion before Geo. H. Tinker, justice of the peace. The ev- idence was very conclusive but both of the accused on being put on the stand made a very ingenious defence. They stated that two men, S@eringer and Davis, who are fugitives from justice and known to be lurking in that neighborhood met them and stated that they had killed an ante lope, that part of it was hung on a tree, indicating the spot, and that tkey, Workman and Myer, could have it by going for it. The prisoners claimed they found the spot, took the meat as directed and consumed part of it thinking all the time that il was antelope meat. H. D. Ross ap' peared for the prosecution and s. S
 Wescott for the defence. Both men were held in SI, 1000 bond to answer to the grand jury. ......

Geo. Smith from the line of the Mineral Bel; road, came into town on Thursday, and proceeded to pull out his little gun. He was promptly arrested by Deputy Sheriff J. w.. Francis, and brought before Justice of the Peace Tinker, when he claimed by sworn affidavit that he believed he could not get fair and impartial trial, but that he had no reason for SO stating, and asked that his case might be transferred to His Honor Judge ]. Y. Brothers. which was promptly granted by Justice Tinker. When tried before Judge Brothers, Smith was sentenced to pay fine Of sas ,oo and costs, amounting to s,r ss or imprisonment in the county lall at the rate of $I,oo for each day, which would amount to thirtyon. and a quarter days imprisonment. This was almost similar case to the one tried last week, on Thursday, where the defendent had to pay for draw ing his pistol s7s.o and costs or be imprisoned in the county jail for the period of 90 days.

TERRITORIAL Auditor II. l. An drews, has resignad his position after holding it illegally for about three months, doubtless at the request of his chief, Governor Zulick. The au- djtor being ex-officio a member of the board of equalization, both MT. Andrews and the governor must have been fully aware that the former was disqualified for holding a position which, as a member of the last legis, ja,ure, he had assisted in creating. It vas not until the fact was forced on the attention of the governor by the territorial pFess-mainly by the Tue son Stey and Phnnix Hsyaka- that the acts of board illegally construct ed would probably be ruled as inval- i'd, that he consented to rescind an appointment, which he had arbitrari- jy made in.dehance of public opinion and the laws of the territory.

WHAT is the matter with the Re. publican Territorial papers1 A short time ago the Cidie8 led of by saying that there was no glory in abusing Governor Zulick, and the Tucson PVafe and Phoenix NeraM begin to pipe in concert, that, perhaps Gov ernor Zulick will make good gov ernor. Indeed and indeed. Then perhaps the Pirats has changed its mind and will allow the governor to serve his time out. And perhaps the SIiver BeIt, the CHAMPION and the rest of the gang will begin to think that Zulic& is mol such bad fellow after all. Let us hope that the time here tofore employed in misrepresenting the public acts of the governor and in libeling the last democratic legis' lature may hereafter be used in dis seminating useful information about their respective sectlons.--Phoeni1 GaEete.
 The CHAMPIoN-and it presumes its contemporaries have the same feeling--is not given to kicking a man when he is down and Governor Zulick has been laid out flat. His personal and political trickery and chicanery has been fully exposed and all the people of Arizona, who fail to deprecate the manner in which MT. Zuiick has misused the powers en
 trusted to him, are either blinded b,
 political prejudice or kept silent iron
 self interest, The GGSehe can res
 assured that while the CHAMPION Is no
 disposed to worry fallen foe, 1t vii be on hand when he crawls to his fee to make another "bad break" anC

"How is it," innocen,ly asks

"How is it." innocently asks a correspondent of the Globe Democrat "that where there are prohibition laws in force, men are constantly seen under the influence of alcohol1" There are probably two reasons. One is "general cussedness," which prompts some people to go and do anything which an arbitrary law says they shall not. Another reason is, that if men are prohibited from drink ing beer and wine at their pleasure, when they do get d chance of obtain ing drink surreptitiously, they are liable to take the most highly con- densed article they can lay their hapds on, and plenty of it.
